Man finds snake head in beans
Man says he finds snake head in beans
Fri Jun 15, 10:23 PM ET
Earl Hartman was a little rattled by something he says he found in a can of green beans: a snake head. The Philadelphia man said he found the inch-long head on his plate Wednesday night, right between a chicken breast and buttered noodles. He said it came out of the green bean can.
"When I sat down, I noticed something didn't look right," Hartman told WCAU-TV. "It didn't look like a green bean."
Hartman said he called the Pathmark store where he bought the beans, and got a call back from Seneca Foods in upstate New York, where the vegetables were canned.
Rich Savner, a spokesman for Carteret, N.J.-based Pathmark Stores Inc., confirmed that a customer reported finding a "foreign substance" in a can of green beans, but said officials had not determined what it was.
The store conducted spot checks of other cans, but nothing out of the ordinary turned up, Savner said. Similar cans were removed from the shelves as a precaution.
A woman who answered the telephone at Marion, N.Y.-based Seneca Foods Corp. on Friday said the company had no comment.

No worries. Tastes like chicken anyhow. Cook it up.
And Shepards we shall be,
for thee, My Lord, for thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy Command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls will it ever be.
In Nomine Patris, Et Filli, Et Spiritus Sancti.

500 fights, that's the number I figured when I was a kid. 500 street fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate tough guy. You need them for experience. To develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then, after, you realize that's what you are.

Haha! A company I did some work for at one point had a complaint from a consumer who found a grasshopper in a can of spinach. She claimed that she'd never be able to eat canned vegetables again and sued them for enough money to have nothing but fresh veggies delivered straight to her door from now on.

I found a beetle in a can of beans once. Scooped it and a few of the beans around it out, enjoyed my meal. Now a snakehead, yeah, I'd toss that can, but a grasshopper...nah.
If I find a human hair in my food though, then its gag time.

If you season it correctly you won't be able to tell the difference. Originally Posted by iso607

When I was working with that company I mentioned, I had to learn everything about how some vegetables are canned - and I literally spent time in fields in South Carolina, then following the produce through every step of the canning operation. It's not a pretty sight. The employees, though, were given monetary bonuses for every bug that they found before the vegetables went into the processors. Originally Posted by Cidp24

Consider that an extra source of protein. If it was seasoned good, you probably wouldn't have known the difference. Originally Posted by BEB

The force that propels you to prevail when you are put to a test of survival will be a mindset that refuses to accept nothing but winning.
Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to reach out and bitch slap that motherf*cker upside the head.

How much per bug? Was the size of the bonus tied to the size of the bug? Originally Posted by Buttercup

I don't remember how much they received per bug, but the vegetables were on a slow moving conveyor on their way into a rinsing/washing processor and the employees sorted through them by hand. Originally Posted by Jenna

Nope, the size of the bug didn't matter - if they could see it, it had to go.
